    KELLY DODD'S POLICE REPORT Against Dr. Dhivya Exposed, Read Verbatim & Analyzed (w/ Atty. Chad Davenport)
    Mar 24 2026
    The mega viral on line feud between Kelly Dodd Leventhal, Rick Leventhal and Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa continues with clap backs, low blows, police reports (we have them in our possession!!) and, of course, threats of lawsuits. Seeing as this is not the first time Kelly Dodd has threatened a lawsuit against the good Doc, her on line haters (shout out Sarah From Texas) and last, but not least, this very Podcast, today the best attorney, our Litigation Attorney Chad Davenport returns to the pod - new series alert - to break down Kelly & Rick’s incorrect use of words like “defamation”, “cyberbullying”, “cyberstalking” and more. Class is in session! Chad also reveals our many potential causes of action, another Podcast which decided to put themselves in the middle of it all, the Bravo of it all and last, but not least, what every Bravoleb, Influencer, Podcaster, “Reddit Rat” and everyday civilian can do - besides calling Chad - if you have also been a victim of on line abuse. Part II starts now! @chad_davenport25 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WHATNOT - www.whatnot.com (Download The Whatnot App To Get Free Shipping On Your First Order To Live Shop on The US’s #1 Live Shopping App) NOOM - noom.com (The Noom GLP-1 Microdose Program Starts At $99 and Is Delivered To Your Door In Seven Days) SUPER - super.com/credit (See How Super+ Can Help You Boost Your Credit Score) PEACE CORPS - peacecorps.gov/serve (The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

..this unhinged rant about bethenny. It was unpleasant to listen to.... Mean spirited... Not at all fun or even interesting. She lost the plot...really, the focus should be on the fact that money is being raised for an excellent cause. A podcast is not an excuse to rant and rave like a moron. Also learn the facts. We are not in a recession. Economy is stronger and than it has been in a long time. This episode...No bUeno. tell her to stop watching so much Faux News. I actually couldn't get all the way through this rant.

Please spare us..
